Throughout the work it has been a fixed aim to 
render the maps legible and not tiresome to the 
eye. High coloring, which mars many a good 
map, has been avoided. 
*‘ The result of our careful comparison of all the 
leading general atlases has been the decision that 
‘ Bradley’s’ is the safest to recommend in answer 
to query, ‘Which is the best Atlas?”’——Melvil 
Dewey, New York State Library.
